Hmmm, always ben a bit suspicious of things like this.

A bit of googling finds this...

The athletes first cycled without anything on their noses, next with the Nasal Dilator in place, and on a third occasion with only a flesh-coloured piece of tape, applied while the subjects' eyes were closed to ensure they did not know what was attached to their noses.

Research conclusion
The Dilators were found to not actually pull more air into the lungs at all, with a trend for the cyclists to ventilate better with nothing on their noses. In addition, the number of breaths taken per minute and the actual oxygen usage were totally equivalent between all three conditions.

Apparently they help with snoring though 😉

Why wouldn't you just breathe through your mouth? Bigger aperture, faster air flow.

Why not just rely on your own skill and fitness?

To make boogers, of course! 🙄

What would be the point in carbon fibre, full suss, discs, pneumatic tyres and virtually all other technological advances since the dawn of the safety bicycle? 😉

P.S The Otrovin is not a joke, it opens the nasal passages up and helps prevent runny nose syndrome.
